It’s amazing how you guys are able to make people appreciate such mundane tasks as doing laundry. That only goes to show the connection you’re making with your viewers. 👌
And how much we take our washing machines for granted!
100%. I called to the wife "hey hunny look how they have to do laundry!"
Survivors y’all know how 🙏 Cottage so cozy
@@MrAwsomeshot how do you do yours??
Thank you for the video on the mini-Washer. My wife and I ordered one, used it today for the first time, and LOVE it. Awesome little machine! We are apartment dwellers in our late 60's. We used your setup example, elevated on a storage container. The only difference is that we found it easier to hook the supplied hose to the input and screw it to the bathroom faucet in place of the faucet aerator. Works great, and my wife was amazed how clean and nearly dry everything was. We have an 8' x 17' screened-in balcony on which I installed four 17' long retractable clotheslines. First use saved us $9.00 that would have been spent on someone else's machines. This will quickly pay for itself. Thanks again!
I call this conscious living. Being in the moment and appreciating every aspect of life. Blessings to you both.
100%.
You both continue to impress me. We all take for granted the conveniences of our lives. You both show us it’s possible to choose a different way of living. You’re amazing!❤️❤️❤️
Its amazing that I find myself watching a video on washing clothes... but I am and I love it!! I watch your videos because I love how you put thought into everything you do. You describe what you're doing and why you do what you do. I appreciate that you don't just go through the motions. That's dedication and commitment. Thank you both!!!
I absolutely loved this tidbit of your life! I'm Canadian and own a stacked 3-story duplex in the Rockies. A 75 year old tenant lives above me and doesn't like going to the basement to due laundry, specially in winter, so I bought him one of these units. The unit you have requires $120 import fees for me to buy so I went with a similar unit that was much cheaper. It looks identical and I imagine works just the same. It is great! And my Tenant is very happy ... a win/win as far as I'm concerned.
What a kind and generous thing for a landlord to do.
I salute you, good sir.😊
T
You're a sweetheart
That's the Sweetish thing I ever heard a Landdlord do 🇬🇧
Thank you for being such a decent human. 🙏🏻
You know you have a kick@ss channel when you can do laundry and 85k people watch and so many of us enjoy it just because yall are so awesome!
Thank you we try to keep it entertaining 😁
@@SimpleLivingAlaska lol you guys do a great job!
We are so lucky to have such inventions! Our great grandmothers would marvel at all the things that make our lives so much easier - they would probably pass out if they knew we could get our laundry done in less than a day!
Actually, growing up on an island in the Caribbean, we used to wash everything by hand then hang them out to dry. It was a process but we did what we had to do. We never had a washing machine or dryer until we came here. Ppl in this country don’t realize how good they have it.
My great grandmothers had washing machines. They both died in the early 80's. But how did they wash their clothes when they were young? There are pictures from their youth and their clothes were so perfectly tailored and elegant.
Right!?
I wouldn't get as many hidings as a kid if we had this then😩
I am in my late 40's ,living in the Caribbean, we've always had washers like this. Enjoy watching your excitement about it!!
So nice to see that your washer/dryer are still going strong and well after a year. That’s just awesome! Thanks for the including us in your lives!
You have no idea how excited I get when I get the alert that y'all have uploaded a new video! I have watched all of your videos twice through now! Enjoy every moment! Never change!
Yes, another video to transport me to a peaceful world👍
I have used this machine and loved it. It was located in my Econ’s bathroom in a very expensive apartment in Denver. It saved me lots of money and washed the clothes better than the laundry facilities available on my floor. I was 20 stories up. I gave mine to a neighbor and promptly bought another as a back up when I moved out of state.
I never thought doing laundry was so therapeutic ☺️
In the Philippines, my family used that type of washing machine and spin dry combo type. It’s easy to use and durable too. It could last 3 to 5 years, or more depending on how it is used and taken care of.😘
It’s amazing for such a little machine. When we got married 49 years ago our first washer was a counter top model that only washed, no spin cycle. LOL. It washed a lot of diapers. Love your channel!
I love how pumped Arielle is to do laundry! Haha definitely needed a new video to boost me up to get cleaning done! Thank you for the inspiration and making today a good day!!
I have a similar unit is my apartment for the last 3 months. When i do laundry, i simply place it in the tub and use the hand held shower head to fill the unit that drain it into the tub outlet. I was embarrassed how dirty the water was when i first drained it...
The only downside is that my cloth still has a lot of lint.
Great little washer/spinner unit for apartments, rvs and homesteads.
Cheers from Canada, eh
Mine came with a little lint thing that you in washer. Arielle thought it was for soap. Anyways try putting little basket in washer, it works.
What a sweet little washer!! I saw the vid when you first got it. So much easier than the old way you were doing laundry. You make doing laundry look like fun. ☺️❤️
Hello Arielle & Eric. Glad this washing machine is working so well for you. If it makes your life easier, then that's great.
Sometimes when I watch your videos I think about how hard life would have been 150 -200 years ago. Not that what you do is that primitive but compared to life in the lower 48 it is.but I also think it’s more rewarding to do things with your hands and thrive while doing it. And the simple things that bring is joy. Like putting a seed in the soil or catching salmon or cutting and splitting firewood. A simple life a better life in so many ways
These little washers are actually amazing. I know of quite a few people that use them and they have no complaints. My nephew got my sister-in-law one when their washer went on the brink and had to wait over a week for the guy to get the part in and with so many in the family, well big families know you can't go a week without washing or it piles up like crazy, and she loves that little washer. She still even uses it for certain thing's even though she has her regular washer.
I remember when you guys got that washing machine it seemed like yesterday.
I would recommend buying another one to store before it’s discontinued or changed. I’ve had that happen so many times I’m learning that the hard way. Always have a backup if you really love an appliance. Nice video
Glad to see you’re using the lint catcher and took advice of people mentioning to spin after each cycle. I did notice your clothes in the video were looking a lot nicer than a few years back when I started watching your videos. One more advice for your portable laundry machine. If you keep your washer and spin cycle lids open for a few days at least, you can prevent mold and mildew developing inside the machine. You can’t see them from outside, but inside mold and mildews are there if you keep lid closed like that. You can also use Oxyclean for stubborn stains and also it keeps your machine clean. If you want to remove smell or sweat stains, use hot water with Oxyclean added. I use all powder pure soap with washing soda and Oxyclean. Then citric acid powder as softener at the final rinse cycle (as I don’t like the vinegar smell in my clothes).
Their cabin is so incredibly dry inside (a consequence of wood stove heating) I wouldn't imagine any moisture remains after each laundry session.
True 🙂 we have no moisture issues, but rather a lack of.
@@williambremner9022 Yeah in where I live it’s extremely dry too like single digit humidity % but if you keep lids closed water would be trapped. That’s just no brainer. It’s actually in my washer machine instructions too that not to keep the lids closed to prevent mold and mildews inside. There’re some videos of people putting washer machine cleaner, and if you use certain cleaner you can see mold and mildews come out visibly like seaweed floating in water, really gross stuff coming out. If you want your machine to last, it’s always recommended to keep lids open at all time.
@@SimpleLivingAlaska Yes, I also live in single digit humidity environment in winter especially because of heater. But if you keep lids closed, moisture can’t escape. It’s also in my washing machine instructions saying keep lids open to prevent mold and mildews. Your machine is made of plastic inside mostly with only few stainless parts. Plastic is perfect for trapping moisture. I’ve seen videos of people showing mold and mildews behind the drum in washing machine. It can get very gross there.
My husband and I just recently found y’all on RUclips. We watch one every morning. Y’all bring such a calm and happy vibe. We really enjoy it.
Love it! My mom uses the same laundry setup as a camp host in Seward. Such a cold November! 🥶
When I was in my teen, mom had me wash clothes by hand, my knuckles got sore by rubbing on the metal ten😥 so I really appreciate what your doing to get your clothes clean.☺️🥰🥰
You two are amazing! Thanks for sharing your lives with us!
I live in an apartment and have the same washing machine. I've had mine for 2 years and love it! I also have a 110v dryer. I also use a floating lint catcher and a lint catcher on the end of the drain hose. My washer empties into my bathtub. Keeps my drain clear.
Love the video! When things are not so instant or easy it sure makes you appreciate everything more 👍🏻😊the puppers are so adorable!
One sheet washed with the wash/spin/rinse/spin in roughly 30 minutes. Good thing you have time for this task living off grid. I still envy your enjoyable healthy lifestyle. Let the rest of the world do what it wants to do. You do what your choose.
On the subject of garden hoses. We are similar , our well is 250ft away from the tank. I recently purchased some new hoses from Home Depot . The brand is called Aqua Joe . They are a 100ft 5/8" hose that rolls flat , rated to -60 as well. They are so much nicer to use due to their weight. They way roughly half of a regular hose of a similar size. And roll up really nice as well. Some food for thought.
Bad hoses are a real pain.
@@thatsalt1560 That's for sure. Especially when it's freezing out. Some hoses are really stiff to work with . These stay flexible, they drain better when rolled up as well.
Great video! Pro tip for that ball valve on the well, always leave it half open/half closed. That way you’ve got the possibility to crank it both ways if it freezes, gives you some leeway. We do that all winter with our ball valves in the diving/subsea industry.
Hey, pro tip for you; that's not a ball valve, it's a gate valve with a solid disc that screws down against a seat. Probably best to leave it wide open, unless you'd lose your prime from the pump. It'll still freeze either way though.
@@dryroasted5599 argh, damm small screen phone.. 🤦♂️ My bad, didn’t look close enough. Then I’d suggest swap it for a ball valve! =)
this why I love your channel. You show your viewers real life.
I'm really glad the washer is still working so well for y'all. Amazing difference it made in your lives for sure.
I just love the way you two work together - this to me is amazing!!!! Even something as routine as laundry gets done efficiently and you both contribute somehow to the work.
I love the washing machine, it brings back good memories. As a child my mom had a very similar but larger machine. She too would run them through the ringer before rinsing. She too would use the clean rinse water to wash the next load. I remember helping to move the clothes once I was old enough. That was about 45 years ago.
After getting sick & having to leave your lifestyle for City life, I was bored with nothing to do! It felt like I was on vacation. But bored. To live the life you do, its an every day commitment & takes lots of energy. And its a wonderful life that allows you to sleep soundly at night.
We had a washer like this when I was growing up. I vividly remember my mother with her foot on the washer while it was spinning to keep the washer from moving all around and her finger in the middle of the plastic lid on the spinner to help keep it balanced. It's amazing she didn't lose a finger. Even with it quirks it worked very well. However, she was very relieved when she could finally afford a regular washer.
I love your videos I'm always on the lookout for new ones and go back alot and watch the older ones again even though I've watched every single one you all have made..your life seems to be so rewarding but can tell its alot of hard work not counting all the work that goes into your videos
My favorite channel in RUclips you guys doing awesome job love and respect for nature. Shalom
If you had told me this morning that this evening I would be watching someone do their laundry, and enjoying doing so, I would have thought you were out of your mind. But I did, and it was time well spent! Your lifestyle is fascinating to so many of us. Stay safe, warm and in love !!!
Yes I have one of those and they clean good and they do rinse good also
I bought one about a month after watching your show last year. I'm really satisfied with purchase. My only criticism about the spin dryer is they should have made it same size as washer. Overall the washer/spin dryer is a perfect solution for me.
thats what I was thinking.... 1/2 size not understanding the logic
We got this same washer for Xmas last year on your recommendation and its still going strong! I totally agree with everything you have said about it. Such an awesome little unit! I could never go back to hand washing clothes. P.s we live just like you guys in NW WI!
The thing I found the most amazing is both of you give 100% of your time into the relationship. You both help each other equally.
Hi from Georgia! I'm always so impressed with how you kids are living; well done to you! I can only imagine the amount of energy and motivation it takes to live your way. I'm freezing over here in the 40's; hate being cold - my old body doesn;t like it. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Take care and stay safe.
We have used that washing machine, for a year now. It's working great!
Getting the laundry done was never more interesting or entertaining, thanks for sharing.
There's just something satisfying about getting your laundry washed and stacked away and that little unit of yours actually makes it look like.....fun?...! I'm so tempted to get one for my suite in place of using the laundry room. Tiny, cute and does the job - can't beat that! Happy days you guys, stay safe!! 💖
It’s amazing to think my grandmother had a twin tub and I loved watching it beat across the floor as she tried to hold it in place!
I believe it was your first review that inspired me to grab one of these babies for my off grid tiny home ❤
One of the best purchases to date!
Thank you!
I could honestly watch you guys for hours! ❤️❤️
I had one,, washes and spinner only for years loved it , for a family of 3 I have always hung clothes on a line in or out side,
i been off grid 21 years and have the samw washer-spinner and love it.
I remember you getting this thing last year! Glad that it's still working well for you, I was skeptical of the durability being that it's all plastic (though it probably does make it much lighter). That indoor clothesline looks super handy for Alaskan winters!
Maybe in a future video you could sneak in some cookstove tips! I'm new to them, and am only just getting the hang of leaving them overnight and still having a good bed of embers in the morning.
I love the sound of your chickens!! ❤❤ it's like ASMR 👍
What a great combo, so glad you found it. I cannot wait for your vlogs to come out, I wait until everyone is in bed to watch. It’s so exciting to find out during the day I have a new video with you two to watch. Keep doing what you’re doing, and may you prosper and stay well.
I had a machine like that 50 years ago and Loved it and hung clothes out side or in house, used it for 23 years was the best little machine ,
I love that it's still working out for you guys to do your laundry this way :) my kids are totally mesmerised watching it done like this lol
The washing session brought back memories of my childhood. We had one of those same washing machines, which in my country are considered "inexpensive" and "low standard", mainly because they are not automatic and therefore low in price.
However, they have some peculiarities that common washers do not incorporate. And it is that it can be washed and centrifuged at the same time with the same machine. The other thing is that they use little water and the water can be reused as you do.
Finally, I see that it is not so simple to live in Alaska, where all the comfort that exists in the urban environment does not exist there and life is better lived.
That is if you like living in extreme cold.
Congratulations from Chile.
La sesión de lavado me trajo recuerdos de mi niñez. Teníamos una de esas mismas lavadoras, que en mi país son consideradas "económicas" y de "bajo estándar", principalmente porque no son automáticas y por lo mismo, de bajo precio.
Sin embargo, tienen algunas particularidades que las lavadores comunes no incorporan. Y es que se puede lavar y centrifugar al mismo tiempo con la misma máquina. Lo otro es que usan poca agua y el agua se puede reutilizar como ustedes lo hacen.
Finalmente, veo que no es tan simple vivir en Alaska, donde toda la comodidad que existe en el medio urbano, allí no existe y la vida se vive mejor.
Eso si es que te gusta vivir en el frío extremo.
Felicitaciones desde Chile.
I think it's the mundane task solutions that make the biggest difference in day to day living, and I appreciate what you've shown. Laundry, shower, food storage, etc... It may be a tad cooler than the lower 48, but the same tasks need to be accomplished, for the same reasons... Thanks for the peek into that part of your lives.
I really do get to live vicariously through you guys, I was a huge outdoorsy person most of my life until I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at 20, a lot has changed for me at just 21 years old and there are things I won’t be able to do in this life like move far outside of the city (because I need to be close by to the hospital and whatnot) and I don’t have the physical ability to do the work you do, but I try and do small things that help me feel a little more self sufficient! This year I bought seeds for the first time ever and I’m going to try my hand at growing some of my own food which has been a dream of mine for ages! Love from southern Ontario, Canada! I can only dream of winters like yours. I’m very much Canadian in that sense, love the cold and the snow ❄️
I would love to see y’all do a “morning routine” or “nighttime routine.” I’m interested to see your daily habits that keep y’all running!
I finally broke down and bought one of those(tired if freezing my fingers in the winter). Mine has blue doors and an attached lint trap in the washer. I have a shower stall in my cabin and it fits perfectly in there where I can drain directly, I also use my shower head to fill. I use rain collection for all my water so to conserve water I use my rinse water for my next wash load. I also hang my clothes in the loft to dry. I agree it's great!!! I still wash outside when it's warm in a tub with a wash board and wringer.
It was so good seeing everyone again! As things seem to be progressing well, and your making the best of your time on the very cold ❄️🥶 winter days continue to stay safe while taking care of each other the boys, and fluffy. Until the next video peace ✌️🕊️ and blessings 🙏❣️
Thanks! Laundry is my favorite!
Watching from NZ (as usual) your machine reminds me of my old "HoverMatic 3301" washing machine I used here in NZ in the 1980's - was a 60's / 70's machine - A slightly bigger size / version of what you have but identical mechanically - a great machine for a tiny house with limited space and great on resources!
I've been using this washer spin dryer for 3 years. I love it and I'm so glad you guys got one. Washing clothes with the plunger/agitator did not look fun.
Once again amazing teamwork in getting set up and doing laundry. You are both an inspiration
in how you plan all aspects of your daily living . Despite the hard work required constantly both Arielle & Eric seem truly thankful for everything that most of us just take for granted.,👍👍👍
Just ordered this off Amazon! THanks for giving a 1 year update. It really helped me feel good about ordering it.
I love your channel it’s my favorite one on RUclips. I was wondering if y’all have any channels y’all watch or recommend to watch i between waiting on yours to come out :). Keep up the awesome videos
My Self Reliance, Shawn James, most of the others I watch spend 3,000 a day but there some good ones!
Take the 90 off and install the valve vertically and you wont have the problem with it freezing
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
The cloths line in the House was common in the 1940s and 50s used in the Winter Time when it was raining out, which is frequent if you live in Western Washington, USA.
Oh the memories you brought back to me: I was doing this as little as maybe 5 years or so ago - very similar unit in fact. Before that I was using a number of buckets and wash days was a 4-5 or more day affair! My twin tub was different in one very important way, after less than a year of blissful wash days like yours mine was recalled by the store and a full refund issued due to safety issues, just the particular brand and model in question. I had to start the long haul of saving for something more conventional for these times. I got it and don't enjoy using it at all, I really miss having one like you have! :o( Nice unexpected extra video, thanks for it. Have a good week, be well. :o)
Love your channel! I click as soon as I’m able when a notification comes up!
Ps, your doggos are so cute! -I’m curious if you put anything on their feet to help with the cold when they’re outside?- Cheers from Wisconsin 🧀
We do have dog boots, Bandit gets them when it IS 10 degrees and below, Bo usually zero and below because he is much more tolerant of his feet getting cold.
It’s awesome that you found such a great washer!! Makes life up there that much easier!! Lovely to see the fur kids!! Glad you’re staying inside on such a bitterly cold day!! ❤️💫❤️
Look at all that beautiful snow. Amen
You guys are a really great team!
I wondered when you got that mini washer how it would hold up. Great tips!
This reminded me so much of when we had our little twin tub washer in the eighties. It seems so long ago now, and no I wouldn’t go back to those days.
I am so happy you are pleased with your machine. For many years I washed clothes in a slop bucket and toilet plunger. It worked but was a lot of work. I had a hand pump on my counter and had to heat it on the cook stove. Then a friend gave me a old Hoover spin washer almost like yours. But it was a little bigger and made of metal but virtually the same. It was almost thirty years old when I had it and it was a game changer for me too. So I know exactly how you are feeling. Take care
I so admire how you have thoughtfully chosen specific technology to save you effort while still living simply. This small portable washer spinner is a perfect example. My other favorite is the machine that cuts downed tree trunks into slabs of lumber. You must have done considerable internet research before you moved to have chosen so well. Good for you!
We live in the woods in rural Canada and use a similar machine to yours and love it - Saves having to go into a city 30 miles away and mingle with the crowds at the laundromat during these C-19 times - Thanks for sharing....
This really brought me back to when we used to own an industrial washing machine. It had three compartments. It had wash, rinse, and spin. It was full size tho. That was when I was 12 back in 2012. I loved doing my own laundry with it
Because of watching 1 of your other washing video I bought 1 of those washers and I absolutely love it. If My big washer filter gets plugged it throws the computer off and won't work. These little washers are perfect, water in water out no filters no computers on it. It's made my life so much easier, thank you for your videos
I’ve been watching your channel since your first video up here in Alaska! My inspiration to start my own channel. Just got the same washer and will fly it out when this hitch at sea is over in a few weeks. Can’t wait to use it and put the washboard and galvanized tub away!
Those washer spinners are wonderful. Anyone that I knew loved howw they washed and spun the clothes so good. I wish I had one upstairs then I could do laundry.
Cloths ARE a critical part of Alaska life. Good to see dogs & cat relaxing inside, away from the cold.
Even in this day and age if you can't afford a washer or the washateria my choice was a rub board that belonged to my grandmother and I cleaned a lot of clothes in my bathtub and a lot of diapers but you do what you have to do at any time in your life and the fact that you have this little machine I think is awesome how nice for you because the thing I had the most trouble with was ringing them out by hand
My parents had one similar when they lived in a small apartment so I know these machines work really well👍
Using the rinse water to start another load is so smart less water waste
My brother and sister live in Alaska, I'm in Florida. Can't even imagine what -17 degrees is like, and all of us grew up in Cleveland. Now after living here 30+ years, I complain when it's 40 degrees outside, like today! It really does provide a realistic idea of what living in Alaska is like, and both of you are doing a great job of illustrating that to all of us.
I have one of these portable washing machines too and I love it! I have had to self-quarantine (not Covid-related, just disabled and live alone) for a few years now and washing clothes out by hand SUCKED! This little rascal changed my life too. AND your video a year ago was the deciding factor for me to get one. It is amazing how dry your clothes come out from the spin dryer and how much you can wash at one time.
I love that you can make even the mundane chores seem interesting, but now I appreciate where I live as I am getting to old for all hard work
I will never look at my laundry the same again wow!!!
Nice washing machine. We had one on the yacht when sailing the Atlantic and tropics. It's the little things in life with modern tech in off-grid situations reminding you how cool they are.
we had a twin tube growing up and i was always amazed even if you thought the clothes where not obviously very dirty how dirty the water got! I alway felt the clothes where so CLEAN at the end.
